THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JULY 22,1907.
EXCITING GAMES CERTAIN WITH BABB’S TEAM
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
TWO OF FRANK’S EXTRAS
Now for Memphis!
The first week of the Western invasion broke Atlanta’s way
as well as the most optimistic dared hope. Five victories out of
six games played was the showing made.
In the meantime Memphis lost four out of eight last week and
won Sunday’s game.
And today Atlanta is nearer the league leadership .than she
has been in exactly one month, barring a short while last week.
The men who win games without hitting are the men of the
hour from now until Wednesday, about sunset.
The Babblers do not boast of much ability with the willow.
Otis Stockdale, in addition to assisting Bills in leading the league
at pitching, is the best batter on the team. And he is only just
above .300. Manning is close up nnd the best batting regular is
Charley Babb, who is doing around .290 now—.much less than he
batted last year.
“Scoops” Carey, who was the hitting old thing when the Bab
blers was here last, is down close to .250 and Neighbors, Ilurl-
burt, Owens, Richards, Cristall, Suggs and Bills are below .250.
At fielding the Memphis team shines. Its team fielding aver
age is better than that of any other team in the league and some
fielding wonders' may be expected.
Also the Hustlers boast of the two best game-winning pitchers
of the league—Bills and Stockdale. Both the youngster and the
veteran are in a decidedly winning way right now and have been
all the season.
However, the visitors will find the Crackers at about their
best. Castleton, Zeller and Spade, the pitchers who will work,
are at the very top of their form right now. The Atlanta catch
ing staff was never in better trim. Fox, Jordan and Castro aro
just where they have been all the season—in fine fettle. Bill
Dyer is playing better than ever before this year.
And the outfield—well have there ever been any spots on
that outfieldt Not many. ’ It is the best in the league and per
haps as good as the league ever had.
Until we can get hold of some of the inside facts we don’t
especially care to pass judgment on that directors’ meeting
over in Memphis Sunday.
But just as a snap opinion it seems to us as though it was
something of a farce. <
Acoording to all advance information eight protests were‘to
be heard.
And on the hearing of these protests it was hoped to clear
up that mess over the "fixed'’hatters’box in Memphis and to
straighten out the question of whether or not teams in this league
are to be allowed to go over the limit.
Press dispatches on the subject aro painfully vague. A Phil
adelphia lawyer could not make head nor tail to the incoherent
accounts sent out from Memphis.
But the sins of omission of the directors are obvious. The
two really interesting protests were passed over. They wero the
ones made by Charley Frank ngainst having to pay the $300 fine
for leaving the field and one made by Dobbs, of Nashville,
against a similar fine, after Rinn forfeited a game, on account
of the lengthy kick registered by Nashville. i
Also the two protests now on the league books against Nash-
vlllo and Little Rock for carrying moro than 14 men were not
noticed.

Of course it was all right. But it is hard to sco, with a couple
of weeks’ notice, how it was possible for Now Orleans and Nash
ville to bo unprepared for their defense. Charley Frank said ho
had not been notified of the directors’ meeting when he was hore
and it seems as though somebody must be at fault in this.
Well, it is all to come out at another meeting to bo held
August 12. And we are quite contented to wait until that time,
if the directors ore.
They are the ones who have to make the torrid journey to
Memphis and back again.
Bills, of Memphis, Now
Leads League Pitchers
Yerkez, of Nashville, has ths best
avsrags of games won among ths
Southern League pitchers.
But Yerkes has worked In only four
games and hardly counts. Tho real
league leaders are Stockdale and Bills.

Stockdale has won 13 and lost *.
Rube Zeller, who was leading the
league a while back. Is down In fourth!

CL08E AT GAMMAGE.
Jap Bell'a and Mike Winn's aggre
gations met In a battle royal Saturday
afternoon at Gammage. The Kutzes
lit on to the ball hard and heavy In tho
first two Innings and pushed seven men
across ths plate, and It looked like ev
erything was all theirs. But the B. ft
G. boys, with their never-glve-up feel
ing, hammered out the ball and tied
the score In the seventh Inning, then
shoved one man across In the ninth,
which won the game.
With one man down In the ninth.
Parish singled, etole second and came
home on Virile Moore's beautiful drive
through center.
It was a hard-fought game and some
pretty plays were made on both sides.
Both teams wanted the game bad. as It
meant a good deal toward getting the
pennant, and neither side gave up till
the last man was out.
Cannon pitched excellent ball after
the second. Inning and deserves good
credit, ns he was up against Mike
Winn’s heavy hitters. Kelly pitched
good ball. Although he was rapped
pretty freely, he tallied out of many
bad holes and showed that he has the
maMng of a good pitcher. The features
of ths game were the hitting of B. & G.
batters, who secured 18 safe hlte, and
McBride's pretty throw from left,
which cut off a runner at home.

SUN PROOFS AGAIN.
The Pittsburg Sun Proof team again
had a cinch In defeating the Koca No
las Saturday afternoon In a very In
teresting game of ball, though the soft
drink (boys must have thought they
were playing ping-pong, the way they
biffed the sphere around. "Bit'' Lock-
ridge ajid Kline worked a pretty game.
Only three hlte were annexed by the
drinkers In eight rounds of battle,
with two In the ninth, making a total
of five. For the first five Innings of
play the game was made up of sensa
tional plays on both sides, but In the
sixth and seventh Innings the Koca
Nola boys made a high trip up In the
clouds, which resulted In complete
downfall.
In the seventh Inning seven runs
were made off two hits. Mays was safe
on bobble by short; Rice was safe on
error by second; Wall was punched In
the back; Cunyus safe on bobble by
second and Rice scored; Lockrldge
three-baggered to center. Wall and
Cunyus scoring; Daley walked: he later
stole second and went to third on a
passed ball, Lockrldge scoring; Keeno
singled to left and Daley counted. At
this point the Koca Nolas changed
pitchers, Oppenhelm come In from loft
Held and Brady, who was In ths box,
went to left. Kline fanned. P. Collins
walked, stole second and was out try
ing to go to third. Mays fanned, end
ing the agony.
That seventh Inning was the ruin of
the Koca Nola boys, os the score up
to that time was 4 to 0. Kline held the
drinkers safe until the ninth, when
they found him for a single and a
three-bagger, resulting In two runs.
NOTES.
That midget battery Is all to the
good; Kllno fanned 16.
The Koca Nola boys pulled off two
fast double plays, one In the second
and one In the ninth Inning.
Harmon, one of the Sun Proof pitch
ers, who was slated to do the work for
the afternoon, was unexpectedly de
tained.
Mays played his usual good game
around station No. 1. So did Daley,
who hovered around sack No. 2.
Brady, who pitched seven Innings for
the drinkers, did very well both as a
pitcher and left fielder.
Boys, the Sun Proofs are hot after
that rag. You had better get wise to
that fact.
A box score was kept, but ths puxzle
editor could not be found, and the
score by Innings was all that could be
doped out. Also the number of hits by
Innings will be found below;

George Suggs against Castleton or
Zsllsr is the program for Monday aft
ernoon In the opening game of the
Memphis series.
Tho Babblers, fresh from the over
throw of Shreveport, reached Atlanta
shortly before noon. The team Is not
any too fresh, as a result of the long
Jaunt over from the Bluff City, but at
that, ought to be able to put up a good
showing against the Crackers.
Every real good fan In ths city Is
putting ,ln extra time speculating on
the probable outcome of the series. The
most optimistic are talking about
"three straights.”
To these It may be suggested that
two out of three will do very well, and
that one out of three would not be so
utterly flabbergasting.
. It Is going to be a snappy series of
engagements, all right. Ths Bluffers
are all there with everything but the
blngles, and up to non- they have been
winning pretty handily without these
generally necessary adjuncts to a win
ning stride.
The visit of Charley Babb's team re
calls ths prediction made by Charles
during the spring meeting of ths league
In Atlanta. He said:
"I'll win the pennat, barring Billy
Smith’s team.”
And we're n Dutchman, If he Isn't
making good the prediction. It Is At
lanta or Memphis for the pennant sure.
Just which It Is we are not prepared
to say right now.
But It Is our dope that the coming
series will cut a lot of figure In the final
results.
ATLANTA LEAD8.
The official figures on the league re
ceipts for July 4 are In. And, as was
to be expected, Atlanta leads. The
cash taken in at Ponce DeLeon was. In
round figures, 31,300 In the mining.
In the afternoon the flgures reached
nearly 33,500. On that one single game
Atlanta turned In more cash to the
league fundB than any other team did
In two games.
And at Atlanta’s two games the re
ceipts were almost as much as those of
any two cities.
Here are the flgures:
Atlanta-

Last year Birmingham beat Atlanta
on the figures by a whisker. This year
Atlanta's lead l< so decisive that the
other figures are a loud laugh.
DIRECTORS’ MEETING.
At the meeting of the league moguls
the waiver rule of the league was
amended, so that a club claiming a
player on whom waivers have been
asked can secure the player by paying
the price within three days of the orig
inal date of waiver.
The only decisions made on protest
were to disallow those of Memphis on
decisions of the umpire In games wits
Montgomery and New Orleans. 10
R ? rnle McCay has turned p|t ch „

against Columbus the other dm-
held the batters down to nine hits

win handily for Mobile. 0

the ball and after a hard run he mada
a swell catch, for which he received a
round of applause.
Bowcock gave the ball an awful
whnek In the fifth Inning, and sent the
sphere bounding out to left field tor
three bags. It looked good for a home
run to those In the press box. The
ball went high over Paskert's head, and
the boy trom Dayton finally got the
sphere after p. fast sprint and held
Bowcock at third.

him were bunched In one Inning, and
both were three baggers, but they net

Old Bill Hart, who would carry an
Impost of about one million pounds In
a strict welght-for-age event, was slab
bing It for Little Rock, nnd he was a
near success In the role. He gave up
only five hits, and held Atlanta down
to two runs, one of which wouldn't
have gone over except for a slight
foozle In the Infield.
Unfortunately for grandpa, his Juve
nile opponent, R. Ford, late of Cedar
Rapids, or some such place, was even
better, and his victory was something
In the nature of "peaches.”
Atlanta opened up with the heavy
ordnance In the fourth. Ed Sweeney,
the willowy but hefty-hltting catcher,
dislocated one of Hart’s curves for two
bags and was scored by James Fox, on
a single-sack effort.
Little Rock bottled it up In the next
Inning. Bowcock and Hess tripled In
rapid succession, and the thing was
done. Also it was finished. Ford set
tled down and there wasn’t a chance to
repeat.
Atlanta let out In the same Inning
and won the gome. Becker drew free
transportation. Winters was hit and
Paskert unloaded a slippery one down
toward Great-Uncle Bill Hart. His
veteran nibs picked It up and threw to
first. Douglas hobbled and Becker
scored.
You can Just naturally bet that a
few fans turned out to see the third
consecutive annihilation of the Travel
ers. The big grandstand and the
bleachers were well packed, and the
enthusiasm was In direct proportion
to the warmth—which was considera
ble.
Slats Davis, the sx-Sally League
umpire, made his Initial appearance
and won out with a little line of talk
about "playing by the National Aiao-
elation rules, under special Instruction!
from President Kavanaugh.”
Of course. It was obvious that the
gams would 1>e played under Just those
"Hies. Every game this season hu
been. And yet there was no harm In
mentioning It.
And the fans are slightly "for"
"Sluts.” He has a reputation down In I
the Sally League for enforcing order
on the field, and for refusing to lake
back-talk from the players. And At
lanta Is with him In hlz efforts along
this line.

“HURRICANES” BLOW OUT.
Special to The Georgian.
Qutncyf Fla., July 22.—In the most
uninteresting game of the season the
local team defeated the Havana "Hur
ricanes" by a score of 13 to 9. The
game showed very plainly that the
Havana boys were out of their class,
only one man getting to first base un
til the fifth inning, when the local team
let up and allowed them to scare. Out
side of O, Blanton’s smooth pitching

The usual weekly shoot of the Atlan.
ta Gun Club was held at Lakewood
Saturday and some excellent scores
were made.
All of the Gun Club members are
busily practicing up for the Georgia
shoot, which takes place August 14, 15
and 16. The local marksmen usually
do well against the pick of Georgia and
they propose that this year's showing
will be equal to the best.
